Chapter 49: Hijacking
"This matter is so well planned, how can people know? Who exactly denounced Zalandin to the king of Donghu. A man wrapped in black robe roared.
"It's John, and today John took the book of covenant and brought a man to see the king of Donghu. After that, the king of Donghu gave the order to capture Nazarandin. ”
"It's impossible, John has our inner response by his side. If he investigates this, how can we not be aware of it at all. ”
"Before meeting the king of Donghu, John met the Han envoys."
"Han envoy, that Han envoy again. Damn it, you must get rid of that Han envoy. He's too much of a hindrance. ”
"I heard that he has been sick recently, and the last time the Otsuki clan attacked the third princess, it startled him. Now he is surrounded by many guards, and the drinking and water are all handled by the Han people themselves. It's really hard to assassinate him. ”
"There's going to be a chance, there's going to be. This person must not be allowed to leave Donghu alive, he has ruined our entire plan, and he must be made to pay the price. ”
The sky was gloomy and terrible, as if the sun did not want to see the tragic scene of Zhangye City. Smoke still billows from the burned houses, and teams of sergeants searched through the rubble. It was not a charred corpse that had been found by soldiers with spears and then identified by several senior officers.
A charred corpse was piled up in the middle of the courtyard like garbage, grinning and stretching out its arms and legs in various strange positions.
"General, I still haven't found the whereabouts of the eldest prince. He's already sent more people, and I think there's a good chance he's digging tunnels. ”
"General, the body of General Zabl has been found."
A sergeant excitedly ran over to report to John.
"Great. I finally heard a happy news this morning. Let's go and see the corpses. ”
John was equally excited, and Zabul had not only a grudge against him. It is one of the first criminals named by King Donghu to be arrested, and most of the troops outside the city are his old troops. If he dies, that's really good news.
Zablhei died a miserable death, his fat body stuck in a secret passage. There is no dust on his body, and he looks like he is not dead. Not even a beard was missing, and the armor on his body was sparkling. Drops of human oil ticked to the ground along the gaps in the armor, and it seemed that the general had died quite uncomfortably. Burned alive by the fire, the sergeants on both sides were discussing how to get his body out intact.
"Don't bother, just your head."
John said with joy when he saw Zabulel.
Several sergeants breathed a sigh of relief, and someone had already taken out their knives to cut Zabulhei's head.
It's a pity that Zalandin's head hasn't been found yet. It must have been burned in the fire. Sun God bless. Don't let this guy get out, or it will do a lot of harm.
Zalandin was huddled in an inconspicuous house in Zhangye City at this time, without a single guard by his side. Zhangye City has a moat, and it is not so easy to dig out the city. His own men dug for two years. Only then did I dig out this escape path. But now it's ruined. After walking into the tunnel by yourself. A boulder fills the tunnel. It was impossible for anyone outside to follow the tunnels to find his place.
It's over, it's all over. When the Huns told him to flee for his life, he knew he was finished. Now Zalandin is like a frightened mole. Only this private house next to the cellar is his nest.
The house is very close to the post house, and there is only a wall between it and the back garden of the post house. That's why no soldiers came here to search, otherwise he would have been caught by the soldiers who were looking for him from house to house.
Meat buns, small pickles, and steaming millet porridge.
Yun Xiao ate and drank and snored, and Yin Yin looked at the third princess. I ate three big meat buns angrily, and now I'm trying to deal with the fourth.
The eyes of the third princess were red and swollen, and her spirit was like a frosted eggplant. The delicious food can't arouse any of her appetite, and even if she is given dragon meat now, she probably won't be able to eat it.
The cannibalism of the father and brother made the spirit of the third princess lonely to the extreme, and the family of father and son, filial piety, brother and brother Gong fell apart overnight. I don't know how many people will fall to the ground, but she knows her father's temper. Whether it is a high-ranking minister or his older brothers and brothers, as long as they are involved in this matter, there is only one dead end.
The Han chopsticks were really unaccustomed to use, and the third princess was slowly stirring the small yellow particles in the bowl with a silver spoon.
"If you stir it up again, it will be a pulp, and no one can undo it. Now you can only accept the reality that your father's guards are still besieging your grandmother's bedchamber. You can't go back to the palace, or stay here for a few days. At present, this is still the quietest place in Zhangye City. ”
Yun Xiao gave the third princess a chopstick pickle and comforted her.
Yin Yin, whose cheeks bulged like a squirrel, took another big bite of the bun.
"I'm not going to eat, I'm going to walk in the back."
The third princess pushed the rice bowl and looked at Yun Xiao with big eyes resentment. His eyes were full of longing.
Unable to stand this look of pity when I saw it, Yun Xiao had to take a sip of porridge and stand up. I haven't moved around for a few days, so it's good to go for a walk in the back garden.
"Wait for me, I'll go too." Yin Yin put down the half-eaten bun and shouted indistinctly. Maybe it's because he swallowed too quickly, and he was burping.
To be honest, there's really nothing to see in the back garden. The Donghu people do not have the habit of planting plum blossoms, except for the white snow, which is dead branches and leaves. The sky was overcast, and the rolling clouds obscured the sun. This situation is that even a person who is in a good mood will feel depressed, let alone the third princess.
A large number of guards surrounded the back garden like an iron pass, and at this time, I am afraid that the life of a sparrow flying in will be in danger.
Yin Yin ran a few steps to catch up with Yun Xiao and the third princess, hiccups as she ran. The maid behind her hurriedly followed, and suddenly Yin Yin ran towards a bush. began to vomit heavily, and the maids and guards next to him were caught off guard and did not keep up with Yin Yin's footsteps.
"Ah......" The steamed bun that he had finally eaten was spit out again, and the loud retching sound alarmed Yun Xiao. He hurriedly looked back at this side, and Canghu hurriedly ran over to ask what was wrong.
Suddenly, a person sprang up in the grass, and before everyone could react, a sharp dagger was already against Yin Yin's neck.
Change is so fast, it's too fast to react. Canghu drew his saber with a "swish", and the guards had already drawn their bows.
"Don't come, whoever dares to come will kill him."
Yin Yin was stuck in the neck and couldn't say a word. Her mouth opened and closed like a fish, and the sharp dagger was pressed against her neck, and red blood flowed from the scratched skin.
"Zalandin......" The third princess exclaimed and was about to step forward, but was pulled by Yun Xiao. One has already been held hostage, and this will not be able to get in again.
Seeing Zalandin's fierce eyes, Canghu hurriedly stopped. complained in his heart that Yin Yin had nothing to do and ran to the grass.
"Zalandin, if you hurt Her Highness the Princess. I Yunxiao Bao you can't get out of this courtyard, if you let the princess go, I can immediately order someone to send you out of the city, Yunxiao is what you think. ”
Seeing Yin Yin's painful appearance, Yun Xiao hurriedly stepped forward and pushed away the goshawk that was blocking in front of him, and said loudly.
"Master Yun, you treat me as stupid. The gates of the city were sealed by John, and they were guarded by the Helios Guard. Let her go, and I'll be chopped up and fed to the dogs. ”
Zalandin hid behind Yin Yin with red eyes, and his big hand was stuck around Yin Yin's neck. Yin Yin's face turned bloody, and she was afraid that she would be strangled to death in a few moments.
"Zalandin, I think you know. This woman is not a real Han princess, and no one will feel distressed even if she dies. What's the use of you holding her hostage, you think we'll care about her life and death? If you want to kill, then kill it, do it. ”
Yun Xiao smiled at the corner of his mouth, and looked up at the sky with a breezy look.
This princess of the Han family is fake, which is almost an open secret that has become a high-ranking nobleman. Even King Donghu understands it in his heart, but he just wants the support of the Han Dynasty, and it really doesn't matter whether this princess is real or not.
Zalandin knew the secret, of course, and on the first day Yun Xiao stepped into Zhangye City, Sabul Hei sued him. Zalandin was a little weak-hearted, in his opinion, it was really not a big deal for such a woman to live and die. Even if he died, it was not impossible if the emperor of the Han Dynasty was willing to send another princess.
Yin Yin's face was shocked, and her big eyes looked at Yun Xiao blankly. His throat was stuck and he could only make an "oh oh" sound. Big tears flowed down her cheeks, and she never thought that Airo would say such a thing.
What is himself in his eyes? is just a maid, and she is simply a foot-washing maid. I just ate the vinegar of the third princess, what qualifications do I have to eat other people's vinegar. A lowly foot-washing maid still delusionally thinks that a marquis will fall in love with him, and he will still ......
Yin Yin felt a buzzing in her ears, and at this moment, life was all meaningless.
Yun Xiao read the loss, resentment, and despair in Yin Yin's eyes. This stupid girl didn't know that this was saving her, and the helpless Yun Xiao had to gently shake her head at Yin Yin. He knew that the first thing a desperate woman thought about was often death.
Yin Yin understood, and Zalandin also understood. As the eldest prince of Donghu, he is definitely not stupid.
"Okay, since Marquis Yun doesn't care about this woman so much. Then let her bury Zalandin. Zalandin's blood-red eyes widened as he raised his dagger and stabbed Yin Yin in the neck. He was gambling, and the stakes were on this woman and his life. He bet that Yun Xiao would care about the life or death of this woman. He didn't care about the reason, as long as Yun Xiao cared about her life or death, he could use it to negotiate terms with him.
"Don't ......," Yun Xiao hurriedly shouted. (To be continued......)
